Rezension zu „The Restless City “
"This excellent social and political history of the city both synthesizes a vast secondary literature and portrays women as major actors across many stages of society." "As the fascinating collection of images in The Restless City reveals, many of the city's conflicts revolved around police brutality and opposition to it, especially in Harlem." --Journal of Urban History
